Article 2:

The Advocate shares with us the many different views of homosexuals that have come out to their parents. They show this by having many people tell their story of how they had come out to their parents, and what had happened when they did. The Advocate develops this by having each person tell their story, name, and what had happened. They are telling us what happened and how if effected their lives as a person. The Advocates purpose is to let us see what happened to this people when they told their loved ones that they were not straight. This work is significant because it helps me see what different people when though when telling their parents or loved ones that they were homosexual. Also I can feel what the felt just a little when I read their stories on what had happened to them.

Article 3:  

Paul Brewer is stating the information that has accumulated over time about gays and how acceptance for them has changed over time. He has stated a graph that shows the opinions of people when they had asked questions about gays and gay rights. Paul develops this but having facts backed up by a long line of research and evidence that has been collected over time. Paul explores the percentages and evidence that has been discovered and goes over what the people though at that time. Paul’s purpose is to inform us of the information that has been collected and to let us see what the people thought at that time in history. This work helps me to see what people though in the 2000 about gays and gays rights, also I can see the facts that have been collected.
